And Tom has worked his magic on the white one this week too, another great job.

Looks fantastic. I’m needing my sills done on my coupe...

I really wish I could find a welder near me that finishes the job off that good

I only have an "MOT welder" as per the first picture. Who plasters everything with black underseal.....not matter the colour of the car.

He doesn't get the aesthetic point of view

Given the increasing demand for this repair perhaps there's an opportunity for the club to encourage one of the after-market panel companies to run off a batch of sill repair sections?

Would save Tom and others having to recreate from scratch each time.

He's not just a welder but a panel beater, and by the look of the finished result, a master of his craft.

It’s handy if there is someone close by that can do the work but distance for me isn’t an issue. I’d travel the length of the country if I have to if it means getting the job done right. I already have travelled large distances for work on all my cars. It’s worth it to get the job done properly.

Exactly the right approach in my humble opinion.
